Looks cheaper than a KVM switch. Just slightly.... I won't be able to use it because my multi- setups are Linux or heterogeneous. How much of the networking does it assist with? Can I have an 8-port switch with 8 ethernet cables dangling out...plug stuff in...boom...I can control them all? How much of the Windows networking discovery does one have to know? Can I route through gateways?

That's sad about the horsemeat. In the U.S. we have rogue horse farms, and the law is ambiguous whether it's illegal or not to raise horses for slaughter; and it is illegal to do the butchering in the U.S. or to market the meat. Lots of lobby groups pushing hard to make it all illegal.

[quote]Regardless of where you stand on climate change, the numbers probably won’t make an advocate of either side very happy.[/quote] Isn't this a bit of a flawed premise? Is there any believer in global warming who would not just LOVE to be wrong? Personally I am extremely concerned for what would happen to this planet if the polar caps melt. We are talking to the tune of being uninhabitable. Some people wil

I've got it hard in that my refrigerator and my back door are too close to each other, and I've got a 2-story house. If he needs to go out in the yard, he goes to the backdoor (which is near the refrigerator) and barks; and I let him out. If he's hungry, he goes to the refrigerator (which is near the back door) and barks. So guess what happens if I think he's had enough treats already but he doesn't think so: he goes to the r

I had dinner with Brent Spiner and Marina Sirtis. Marina is really nice in real life. Brent Spiner is okay, but...let's say he is definitely the right guy for his role as an android. Brent thought Will Riker and Patrick Stewart were both a little headstrong to work with, but Patrick was supposed to be, as the captain (William Shatner can be more than a little headstrong, too). I mentioned to Marina that I thought it was a little stupid

What you described for Terminator and Firefly is exactly how I felt about the first Battlestar Galactica. I'm going to go with Big Bang Theory. Maybe not the genre you're looking for, but.... Hee hee--at work I just put together a computer network with a local DNS domain, and I decided to name all the hosts in the network after characters in Big Bang Theory. So somebody out there has a machine named "hofstadter" and "wolowitz". A

Linux is already in the ARM market. Which is a contradiction of terms, really, when you consider that at Linux's inception it was, by definition, Unix on x86. No matter...Linux is in the ARM market with or without Microsoft, and if I'm Microsoft I don't want that to just go unchecked. Just like they have been trying to put Intel in check for quite some time now. Intel did it to them first--it is Intel who invested so many millions in their own Intel Develop

I can't remember the exact aspects he didn't like, but he did say before that GC2 is not a classic, but WOM is. Obviously the marketplace disagrees. That's got to be tough when what you like in a game and what the rest of the world wants are two different things. IMHO some aspects of the economy were a little screwy. I didn't care, personally--it's a game. Things like the population had no bearing on the productivit

I'm not positive Kumquat would work for the kind of 3-D map Galciv3 would most likely be. Galciv3 would probably be closer in look to Sins of a Solar Empire. You can see in Sins that it had to have been originally designed for truly 3-D maps, and then they had to scrap it and go 2-D (but leave the 3-D graphics engine in). I would be very surprised if anyone architected Galciv3 and did not intend it to have truly 3-D galaxies. At least, in the very early

I have faith in Blizzard. They haven't put out duds. Doesn't mean I will be buying it on release date, but I'm confident that whatever happens it will be good. Also D2's MP supported locally-hosted games where everybody cheated anyway. D3 will probably have servers where people who want to play differently can do their thing.

Anything good for the dog's teeth I'm all for. I do raw beef soup bones. My stinker absolutely loves those. A little too much, in fact--he growls me off whenever I get too close...to the soup bone that I just gave him. :D LOL I had the vet do my dog's teeth while anesthetized once, and that was at the same time he got stitches from a bigger dog biting him anyway. I just hate having him sedated. </p

My yorkie can't eat necks. Chicken and turkey necks, absolutely not. The bones will get stuck in the throat. No big loss--not much meat on them, anyway. Beef necks are safe for him to eat, but they just don't work. It's like eating a lobster bare-handed. Hearts all all kinds, though, are totally awesome. But there are those big strips of fat you need to cut off. Dogs don't handle fat too well.
